Workshops & Speaking Events

The Girl on Fire Life-Skills Workshop is a 7-session journey that empowers women to break the cycles of abuse, addiction and incarceration through real-life stories. Utilizing biblical principles and practical tools, the workshop has an emphasis on building strong, healthy support systems.

Based on the memoirs of both Teresa Nickell, The Girl in Your Wallet, and Kelsey Harris, Touching Fire, two formerly incarcerated women share their lived experiences to foster transformation and plant seeds of hope. Through open discussion and interactive lessons, participants gain insight, support and direction.

The goal is for women to complete the class with greater confidence, emotional awareness and a renewed belief in their ability to change. They are taught how to identify safe vs. unsafe relationships, develop coping strategies and set healthy boundaries, recognize areas of self-sabotage and grow in personal responsibility and faith.
